Are you (emotionally) ready for a hurricane?

As residents of the East Coast of the US, it's easy to assume (and hope) that any hurricanes in the Atlantic are going to hit anywhere but where we live. It's not until a variety things occur that cause many of us to start paying attention. These events can vary from location to location can and easily produce stress & anxiety:

Meteorological models begin to show the "cone of uncertainty" heading to our location (often a week before the hurricane is expected to make land-fall)

Local news starts to break into regular programming for weather bulletins and updates

State governors and emergency prep office begin their press conferences

Our social media feeds explode with updates and shares from our friends

Local weather reports begin to break into regular programming for longer periods of time until they're on permanently

Our favorite local weather person rolls up their shirt sleeves

We see national news outlets and celebs like Jim Cantore reporting from our backyards

It's easy to let the anxiety build, and build until we're running around like we're chickens with our heads cut off or paralyzed by fear or uncertainty. There are steps you can take to prepare for an approaching storm AND positively address the anxiety, stress, and fear that the preparations can produce. Check out these these resources:

A recent report in the Charleston Regional Business Journal (Volume 24, No. 19) finds that as we continue to have job growth, the real estate market will continue to grow. As we see businesses like Volvo, Boeing, Google, Joint Base Charleston, and others continue to grow and expand, we're seeing infrastructure, businesses and mixed-use real estate developments expand near Summerville.

Communities like Nexton, Cane Bay, and Carnes Crossing have plenty of re-sales, and new-construction homes and townhouses for families moving into the area.
